Five Leaf Clover Meaning

Five Leaf Clover Meaning: The following is a response to a question received by a reader of this website. She found a five leaf clover and wanted to know the symbolic meaning behind it. Her question is as follows:

“Hi Avia, I found a five leaf clover. I’ve read your website, and got good information about clover meaning, but nothing about this particular type of clover.

I wonder if you could give me an explanation as to what it means when we find five leaf clovers on our path?  I pay close attention to anomalies in my life, and when something unusual shows up like this, I take it as a sign. I would love to know what you thoughts on this are.  Thank you.”
